Lothar Matthaus - Forza Milan

Glad to see you sticking it out at Sporting Don't let the board get to you, when the money starts flowing it will all get better!

That's if it starts rolling in

Great story Well done

Thanks, but it can't last, surely?

Matthaus' Diary - Transfer Targets Summer 2013

Wilfried Zaha - Crystal Palace - £4m

Pablo Barrientos - Catania - $6.75m

Javier Hernandez - Manchester United - Loan

Derk Boerrigter - Ajax - Loan

Kevin De Bruyne - Chelsea - Loan

Jano - Spartak Moscow - Loan

I think these signings would definitely propel us on during the season, and there could be more if the opportunity arises.

Matthaus: "Watch Out Madrid"

Sporting CP manager Lothar Matthaus has warned Spanish giants Real Madrid to "watch out" ahead of their televised pre-season friendly. Sporting are in the group stages of the Champions League this season, and could well face Los Blancos in the groups.

Sporting face Real Madrid at the Estádio José Alvalade as they prepare for the 2013-14 season. In the pre-match press conference, Matthaus talked about what his team would have to offer in the match. "If you look at the signings we've made so far, and the squad we already had, I think we stand a good chance of winning the match. If we turn up and play well, and Madrid don't perform to the exceptional standards we know they are capable of, then I think we have a great chance. If we won this game, it would put down a marker for the rest of the season, and show all the other big boys in Europe what we're about. So, I have this to say to Mr. Mourinho: fear me."

Sporting will be looking to replicate their domestic success from last season under Matthaus, and stand a good chance of doing that considering Porto and Benfica have been struggling to improve their squads, and Sporting are rumoured to be in talks with several new players.

You got a nice bit of cash from your sales and your signings look marvelous
From experience, Demirci + Banzai Tiki-Taka = RAPE!!!

Good luck for the new season, I'm sure you will do great

I'm aiming for at least another domestic treble this season.

Be carefull not to loan out demirci and suarez to much, before you know it they won't reach their potential anymore. Seen it happen to daehli and demirci in my save, and that would really be a shame to lose those 2 potential worldstars.

Anyway good transfers
